|
I happened upon about 10-15 of these Forest Beauties feeding on plant sap oozing from a Rhoicissus tomentosa vine. Also feeding on this were Common Bush Browns and one of what I tentatively ID'd as a Forest King Emperor. Photo's are of different individuals and one of some of them feeding off the vine. A truly memorable experience. |
